Chapter 1483
Wang Yan and his group received a warm reception in Fanling. It was truly fish for one meal and meat for the next. Even the old patriarch of the Peng clan gave enough face and personally accompanied them for drinks.
All of this stemmed from Wang Yan's rather special status.
If you say he has status, he is nothing, just a small factory director of a furniture factory in a commune. But if you say he has no status, Wang Yan is a man of his word in Lin County, supported by leaders above and the masses below. Most importantly, he is a nationally famous person. His reports are serialized in the newspaper like novels, and people all over the country are chasing them.
They even specifically inquired about it. As targets of the united front, they certainly have information channels. It didn't matter if they didn't inquire, but once they did, they were scared to death. He was truly awesome.
Combining various reasons, Wang Yan could no longer be discussed with common sense. This was the reason why they were so polite to Wang Yan.
After eating and drinking well for three days, thousands of pieces of furniture were finally transported over. In a huge warehouse that Peng Yunliang had set up, they were piled up like a mountain.
At this point, Wang Yan also started working. He took his subordinates to check them one by one, and if there were any problems, he would distribute them for repair. Of course, it was mainly the Peng clan's carpenters doing the work, and Wang Yan's side was equivalent to guidance.
Coming over to do after-sales was just on the way. In fact, the carpenters he brought this time were only three people: one whose craftsmanship was among the best of the many apprentices in the factory, one in the middle, and one who had just learned for three months and passed the novice period.
As for the rest, except for Li Kuiyong, Zhong Yuemin, and Zheng Tong, everyone else had a common identity.
Lin County militia!
And among these seventeen militiamen, eight were militiamen from the commune. Before coming, they had already received instructions to follow Wang Yan's orders in everything...
Thus, after repairing the furniture for five days, Peng Yunliang finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Wang Sheng, it's been a week. You've taken pictures of the whole Fanling with your camera. Have you considered the development of our Fanling?"
Wang Yan took the cigarette he offered, let him light it, took a puff, and then spoke: "I do have some ideas."
Peng Yunliang was overjoyed. He couldn't help but bow his waist, with a flattering look on his face: "Wang Sheng, don't worry, our Peng clan will definitely reward you generously."
Seeing that Wang Yan was noncommittal and showed no further indication, Peng Yunliang hurriedly added: "Wang Sheng, we can sign an agreement, find someone from Xinhua News Agency to notarize it, and share a portion of the profits with your commune."
"Mr. Peng truly has a patriotic heart." Wang Yan grabbed Peng Yunliang's hands excitedly, "Our commune is poor. It is precisely because we need patriotic businessmen like Mr. Peng to help and support us."
Peng Yunliang was left crying and laughing by Wang Yan's changing face: "This matter was something we had already discussed. I didn't expect it to be stuck here. Wang Sheng, you should have said it earlier. Time is precious. How much could we have done in this week?"
"How can one actively ask for money? That's not right." Wang Yan smiled and shook his head.
Peng Yunliang was speechless. He really wanted to shout out loud, 'Don't think I don't know you're a bandit'...
"Wang Sheng, look... about the business..."
"That's, of course, no problem."
Wang Yan smiled and took out a stack of paper from his pocket and handed it over, "I heard that you have herbal tea here, as well as in Macau and the inland Guangdong and Guangxi regions, and people love to drink it. You should know that I come from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and I happen to have some herbal tea recipes in my hand. Recipes for appetizing, cooling, treating colds, and conditioning the body. Here are fifty-six recipes. You can push them out little by little."
"Wang Sheng, how much can you make by selling herbal tea?" Peng Yunliang looked down on it a bit.
"Mr. Peng, there are nearly four million people in Hong Kong. If two million people love to drink herbal tea, how big is this business?" Wang Yan glanced at him, "My recipe is different from yours. Herbal tea is hot and bitter, but my herbal tea can be cold and sweet. You should know the difference, right?
Your Peng clan buys the medicinal materials, matches them into ingredient bags, and lets your family's children go out to promote them all over the streets. As long as you do it well, I estimate that you can take down all the herbal tea stalls in Hong Kong in less than a year. How much profit is this?
You can also make small ingredient bags, make them into amounts that your own family can boil. For those who are diligent and don't want to spend effort, and are willing to buy and boil them themselves, how much profit is this?
Of course, whether it's sold at stalls or boiled by oneself, it must be hot tea. How to use cold herbal tea?"
"How to use it?" Peng Yunliang asked subconsciously.
"You've drunk Coca-Cola, right?"
Peng Yunliang's eyes widened: "You mean we will make canned herbal tea in the future?"
"Is there any difficulty in this production?" Wang Yan smiled and said, "After you sell herbal tea for two years, open a factory, get a few canned production lines, and once the machines start, it's all money. By then, the business will not only be in Hong Kong, but also in Southeast Asia, Japan, and South Korea. And with herbal tea leading the way, you can make other flavored drinks. Isn't this expanding the source of wealth?
My recipe is absolutely no problem. You'll know once you buy the medicinal materials and boil them yourself later. As long as you promote it quickly, unify Hong Kong and Kowloon, and become the 'Herbal Tea Peng' of Hong Kong, there will be no problem at all. It will be enough to support thousands of people.
With this business as a foundation, you can take the money earned to expand production. With a canned herbal tea factory, the number of workers can be doubled. Of course, this is if you can open up the Southeast Asian market.
Even if you only do business in Hong Kong and Macau, it's not a big problem to support four or five thousand people. After that, you can take the money earned to develop Fanling, build high-rise buildings, and build shopping malls. In less than twenty years, the prosperity will definitely not be worse than Hong Kong and Kowloon.
You have to know that once development reaches a certain level, there will be a trend of swallowing up. For example, at this time, people from the mainland sneak over every day. Why? Because although this place is not great, it is indeed richer than the mainland.
Once you develop this place and there are some signs, people from Hong Kong and Kowloon will come to your place to scrape for food. Of course, that scene is too far away. We are used to talking about five-year plans. Mr. Peng, as long as you do as I say, I guarantee that Fanling will be turned upside down in five years."
Mr. Peng frowned and pondered. After a long while, he said: "Wang Sheng, if it is really the scene you described, then this business is too big. I'm afraid our Peng clan alone can't take it down."
"I don't care. Before I came, I learned about your history. You are all good compatriots who resisted Japan, and now you are in close contact with our mainland and support our development. I respect you very much."
Wang Yan waved his hand, suppressing Peng Yunliang's moving words, "But business is business. I gave the recipe, and I pointed out the path. You are just doing the hard work of running errands. Of course, you are indeed powerful enough here, eating both black and white, ensuring the safety of the recipe. It is a unique business. I don't want much, just twenty percent of the shares.
In addition, I want to remind you that this is a non-dilutable stake. I have learned about the stock market here recently. This company will definitely go public in the future. But you cannot dilute our shares. Even until the end of time, these twenty percent shares are ours.
Mr. Peng, in our cooperation, I think you should be able to distinguish the relationship between fish and fishing, right?"
"Of course." Peng Yunliang said solemnly, "We are not people who don't know how to be grateful. The future of our New Territories still depends on Wang Sheng to lead the way."
Wang Yan patted Peng Yunliang on the shoulder, took a puff of his cigarette, and sighed faintly: "Mr. Peng, it's not that I'm haggling with you, it's really because we are too poor over there. You have seen it on the spot. If I don't actively strive for foreign wealth with you, how can we develop over there later? We can consider this as helping each other and supporting each other's development."
Peng Yunliang laughed: "It's Wang Sheng who has a big picture. If it's really like what Wang Sheng said, these twenty percent shares could be taken by Wang Sheng himself, but you gave them to your commune. I know Wang Sheng is from Beijing and has only been in Hechuan Commune for a year and a half."
"I'm just a person who likes to see the people become rich and strong. How much can I use myself?" Wang Yan waved his hand, "Alright, Mr. Peng, hurry up and buy medicinal materials to boil herbal tea, and see if what I said is true or false. We'll talk in detail later."
"Good! Then I'll excuse myself first."
Peng Yunliang didn't say much. At this moment, his heart was already itching, so he immediately walked away quickly...
Li Kuiyong, who had heard everything, walked over: "Brother Yan, why don't we do this business ourselves?"
"A hero still needs three helpers. We are thousands of kilometers away from here, not to mention we are not familiar with the situation here. Can we handle it?"
Wang Yan said, "The Peng clan is a large family. You have also seen that tens of thousands of people here listen to them. Family children are everywhere. Some are officials, some are gangsters, some run companies outside, and some are scholars. How much trouble can we save? Once the herbal tea business starts, isn't it good for us to wait for the money?"
"I estimate that there will be no shortage of trouble. If they could do things well, why would they invite you over?" Li Kuiyong curled his lips.
"They have such a large family, and there are capable people. They just lack direction and ideas. Once you point out the path for everything, with so many people doing all kinds of things, it's still very simple to do things. However, we will definitely have to help give more ideas in the future to let them develop faster. Only in this way can our commune get money and develop."
"I'll tell the truth, Brother Yan, the one surnamed Peng is right. It's fine if you keep this money yourself. You earned this money with your own ability, and it's foreign exchange. No one can say anything."
"Can I spend that much money?" Wang Yan shook his head, "Too much money is also a disaster. It's better to help the commune develop and let the villagers live a good life. We don't ask for any return. As long as the villagers are happy, we are happy. It's that simple. Dayong, your awareness still needs to be improved."
"How can I compare with your high awareness? If it were me, I wouldn't even go to the countryside."
Wang Yan smiled and didn't argue with Li Kuiyong, strolling around with his camera to continue taking pictures...
By the afternoon, Wang Yan and others waited for Peng Yunliang.
"How is it, Mr. Peng? Is the herbal tea okay?"
"It's more than okay? It's simply better than good. This time we are really going to get rich." Peng Yunliang was overjoyed, "I have already contacted other families to come over tonight to taste the herbal tea together. Tonight we will have a closed-door meeting first, and tomorrow we will contact the leaders of Xinhua News Agency to sign the contract. I will have to trouble Wang Sheng to guide us more in the future."
"Easy to say, easy to say. You are good, I am good, everyone is good. Let's develop together and get rich together."
Peng Yunliang laughed out loud, extremely happy.
However, after laughing, he turned and said: "Wang Sheng, there is another troublesome matter."
Seeing Wang Yan's questioning look, Peng Yunliang continued, "The one surnamed Zhong who came with Wang Sheng, called Zhong..."
"Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong, didn't they go out to see the prosperity of Hong Kong? Did something happen?" Li Kuiyong took the initiative to answer.
Peng Yunliang nodded: "It's those two. They were detained by people from Sun Yee On in Tsim Sha Tsui."
Wang Yan asked with a smile: "Are they okay?"
"They are fine." Peng Yunliang admired Wang Yan's focus. He was unfamiliar with the place, yet he only asked if his own people were okay, not how the incident happened.
He took the initiative to explain, "They must have been mistaken for mainlanders who sneaked over. The gang loves to cheat such people. I see that Zhong Yuemin is not someone who takes things lying down. I guess he started fighting after finding out he was cheated. How could he beat them on their territory? They were caught and raised the name of our Peng clan, so they called us."
"What's the deal with this Sun Yee On?" Wang Yan seemed not to understand.
"They are routed soldiers who came over back then. It was a major general under Dai Li, called Heung Chin, who buried seeds here to sabotage and find opportunities to counterattack the mainland. They haven't achieved anything for so many years, but they have really become a gang, killing, setting fires, running gambling dens, lending money, smuggling, and selling drugs. They do everything, just not good things. Heung Chin returned to Taiwan, and now Sun Yee On is run by his son, Heung Yim."
Wang Yan nodded and asked: "Do you know where this Heung Yim lives?"
Peng Yunliang shuddered: "Wang Sheng, don't make trouble. Sun Yee On is not to be trifled with. There are over a hundred thousand people. They have halls here in Fanling. Such a small matter is not worth it. How about this, I'll come forward, go to Tsim Sha Tsui to pick them up, and then make them pay some money. Let's just leave it at that. Wang Sheng, harmony brings wealth."
He knew Wang Yan was very fierce, fiercer than a Red Pole. He also knew that for Wang Yan, Sun Yee On was nothing. After all, Wang Yan dared to break people's legs in Beijing, let alone a bunch of routed soldiers.
But the matter is not like that. This is Hong Kong, not Wang Yan's territory...
"Mr. Peng, you can't do business like this. Look at how scared you are." Wang Yan shook his head and sighed lightly, "You have to know that monopoly business is the most profitable. If you really spread the herbal tea bags all over Hong Kong and Macau, it won't be less profitable than their drug trafficking. Not only is the money clean, but you also have status and position. You are a serious big shot.
It's not easy to develop steadily. Hong Kong is too small. If you earn more, they will earn less. Seeing you get rich is them losing money."
"It's different, Wang Sheng. If we in the New Territories unite, even the foreigners won't be afraid! The herbal tea business can make us more united!"
"Fine, I can understand that you don't want to cause trouble." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, "Send someone to drive us over. I'll go meet them and see what kind of prospects these routed soldiers have."
"Wang Sheng..."
Under Wang Yan's calm gaze, Peng Yunliang still shut his mouth, "I'll go arrange it."
"Many thanks."
Wang Yan nodded with a smile...
?? Daily thanks to the good brothers who tipped, voted for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and silently read the book for their strong support!
